Ash let Greninja go in episode 46 of the XYZ season, “Facing the Needs of the Many!“, in order to assist Zygarde and Squishy in destroying some of the remaining roots of the Giant Rock, which threatened to destroy Kalos and the whole world. This decision was made because Greninja could sense these roots, and with its new sacred duty, it could no longer continue as one of Ash’s Pokémon.
